Automatic polyp detection has been shown to be difficult due to various polyp-like structures in the colon and high interclass variations in polyp size, color, shape, and texture. An efficient method should not only have a high correct detection rate...
Recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI), specifically via its emerging sub-field "deep learning," have direct implications for computer-aided detection and diagnosis (CADe and/or CADx) for colonoscopy. AI is expected to have at least 2 m...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Application of artificial intelligence in medicine is now attracting substantial attention. In the field of gastrointestinal endoscopy, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) for colonoscopy is the most investigated area, although it is s...
The detection and removal of precancerous polyps via colonoscopy is the gold standard for the prevention of colon cancer. However, the detection rate of adenomatous polyps can vary significantly among endoscopists. Here, we show that a machine-learni...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Clinical data suggest that the quality of optical diagnoses of colorectal polyps differs markedly among endoscopists. The aim of this study was to develop a computer program that was able to differentiate neoplastic from non-neop...
BACKGROUND: Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) for colonoscopy may help endoscopists distinguish neoplastic polyps (adenomas) requiring resection from nonneoplastic polyps not requiring resection, potentially reducing cost.
BACKGROUND & AIMS: The benefit of colonoscopy for colorectal cancer prevention depends on the adenoma detection rate (ADR). The ADR should reflect the adenoma prevalence rate, which is estimated to be higher than 50% in the screening-age population. ...

Implications of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) in colonic polyps remain elusive. A prospective study was conducted with 188 consecutive subjects who underwent colonoscopy at a tertiary referral center. Biochemical parameters, serum PAI-1 l...
BACKGROUND: ADR is a widely used colonoscopy quality indicator. Calculation of ADR is labor-intensive and cumbersome using current electronic medical databases. Natural language processing (NLP) is a method used to extract meaning from unstructured o...
